In the process of making the starting system operational on my ol bike I wanted to inspect the starter solenoid and maybe give it some graphite lube so it will function as designed. The starter bearings were dry as the well in Bodie California and I was afraid that the starter solenoid would seize up as well.

Here is a peek into the frame to see the starter solenoids location.


**REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE BIKE FIRST** Once the battery cable and output cables are removed from their respective terminal posts you can get to work on the two 10mm bolts that hold the solenoid in place. Make sure and grab a soft rag to put on the swingarm so you can set the solenoid down on it to work on.
